Book Review: Mistrial: An Inside Look at How the Criminal Justice System Works … And Sometimes Doesn

The criminal justice system is like an alcoholic who refuses treatment, say attorneys Mark Geragos and Pat Harris in Mistrial. While the common belief is that the United States has the best criminal justice system in the world, there are problems that need to be fixed. Beginning with anecdotal stories, the authors entertain and educate the reader with their insider secrets and commentary from high-profile cases. They revisit the O.J. Simpson fiasco, the Susan MacDougal defiance, the Scott Peterson injustice, Michael Jackson, Gary Condit, Chris Brown, and other just-as-important-not-so-famous clients they have represented. That’s just the beginning.
